[Lilly's Mommy]

Humm... Not to sound rude, but I don't believe that most expectant mothers need expenses paid other than counseling. Some pap's pay for all kinds of things (rent, car, food, cell phone) but to me, that seems too much like coersion. This is my personal feeling.

Just know that any expenses you choose to cover are "non refundable" in the event that the expectant mother chooses to parent.

We paid for counseling and covered the hospital co-payments.

I would think that in circumstances of true bedrest (which is not the norm), that the timing could vary. An emom would be eligible for some disability pay, but you may choose to make up the difference as allowed by your state.
